Justin Combs, the 18-year-old son of diamond-encrusted millionaire Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, was awarded a $54,000 athletic scholarship to play football at UCLA. The scholarship comes "at a time when student fees are rising and a year after the university had to use more than $2 million in student fees to cover an athletic department funding gap." Neat! The younger Combs defended his scholarship on Twitter, saying that he "put the work in." I'm sure that's true. But—just a thought—perhaps Diddy should consider donating $54,000 of his own money to the "I Don't Want to Look Like a Complete Asshole" Foundation. [HuffPo]

Andrew Garfield told GQ that he once escaped from a terrifying robber by telling him that his mom had just died: "When I was in Swiss Cottage (north London), going to my girlfriend's and this guy caught me and told me to empty my pockets, and I was so desperate that I lied and said, 'Listen, I've just come from my mother's funeral!' It was an awful thing to say, but it worked, and it made him see me (as a person), and he sat on the steps with me for 10 minutes instead, comforting me." So in a way, YOU robbed the robber of his time and generous spirit. For shame, Garfield! [Express]
